Um, guys? There *IS* an easier way to configure MSKermit and DOSPPP to work
together.
(1) First you'll need to get and install Dospppd .06 beta. Dosppd .05 beta
has
bugs that will cause this not to work with MSKermit. Also be sure you are
using the EPPPD.EXE driver.
(2)Add this line to your AUTOEXEC.BAT if you haven't done so already:
set wattcp.cfg={name of directory where you've installed Dosppd}
ex: set wattcp.cfg=c:\dosppd\
[3] In the WATTCP.CFG file that Dospppd uses insert the following text
near
the begining of the file:
my_ip=BOOTP
[4] Add the following to the MSCUSTOM.INI file for MSKermit:
COMMENT - TCP/IP network configuration.
;
check tcp
if fail forward notcp
; If your site has a BOOTP server and your PC is registered in it, the only
; command you need here is the following SET TCP/IP ADDRESS BOOTP command.
; You will also need the SET TCP/IP DOMAIN command if your BOOTP server is
; not at RFC1395 level and/or does not provide your PC's hostname
(substitute
; your PC's real hostname for FOO.BAR.EDU).
;
set tcp address BOOTP ; BOOTP will tell me my IP
address
; SET TCP/IP DOMAIN FOO.BAR.EDU ; My network's domain name
And that's just about all there is to it. Yes, you can configure Dospppd to
act as
an dial-up BOOTP server that will work with MSKermit and other Wattcp-based
software such as the DJGPP port of Lynx to MS-DOS.
